Myths and Legends

The Tale of Perseus and Medusa

There's a really important detail missing here. The shiny shield was vital, as any direct glance from Medusa would have turned Perseus to stone, so he had to use the shield as a mirror to see what he was doing. He certainly didn't just charge and grab some snakes!

what was the name of the magician

11th July 2019

theres alot more to write, perseus a son from zeus they get found in a chest washed up on the shore then the king takes them and wants to marry the lady whos name is danae she sais no so he gets mad he fakes a wedding with a friend and perseus is so poor he has no present so the king is mad and he makes him get the head of the gorgon medusa he meets athene and hermes that give him the stuff the he kills her and chops off her head. the he brings her head to the king and hes turned to stone then he marries a girl named andromeda. i know this because we did a play on it last year so get your facts right!!!!!!!!!!

Missed loads of parts of the story out, i went on this website looking for more information, which i found at a certain part of the story but a lot more was missed out including important parts like using a mirror so that you didn\'t look in Medusa\'s eyes.

24th April 2018

Mostly helpful, just a little confusing on the part about the witches(a little bit hard to follow along on that part). But thank you for the help!

5th April 2017

The Gray Sisters actually have the sword and shield, buried under a tree.

25th January 2017

Lots of spellig and grammer errors.I rate it a 3 out of 5.

24th January 2017

You didn't finish the myth either that or I haven't heard that version before I've heard a different one and yes many spelling errors.

19th January 2017

Grammer mistakes along that a magician didn't take place in the story it was Zeus.

18th January 2017

IT was good, many errors with grammar spelling etc. Her getting killed led to her 2 sons coming out of her head.

17th January 2017

There were grammatical errors and it didn't' follow the original story.

15th January 2017

A very nice story

7th January 2017

Very good but gramatical errors and I thought he had killed her by using a shiny shield so she would turn herself to stone then beheaded her, otherwise very good well done.

7th January 2017

I thought there were many grammar and spelling errors and you could have done much better i think it was bad I\'m sorry but it wasn\'t good at all and it didn\'t follow the original story line.

7th January 2017

this is such an awesome story !! great job !!!

18th December 2016

Needs a lot of proof reading. Too many grammatical errors. If this is meant to be an educational site, it should not have grammatical errors then people will get confused and it will influence how people write, and they will make mistakes. Maybe the owners of this website should proofread all stories and edit them so it is a better learning place for students. Not hating just an idea
